IMHO, ATI would be YELLOW as well, as their newer IGP cards (well, the
IGP320/340) doesn't yet have 3D support. On the other hand, 2D support for
the card just plain rocks :)

There's no "blame" to be made for the lack of 3D support there, except
that 3d support in X cant exist without DRI support in the kernel, and
that (AFAIK) is still very experimental.
